Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi, 24 years old physics undergraduate transformed broken cars and motorbikes parts into a ready to fly helicopter.

The helicopter was build from a second-hand 133 horsepower Honda Civic car engine and with four-seat from an old Toyota.

The helicopter dimensions are 12 m (39 ft) long, 5 m wide and 7 m high.

Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi has no formal training in flying and his helicopter has never flown higher than 7 feet of the ground.

In the near future Mubarakc want to build a better helicopter which will be able to make 3 hour flights.

For now Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) didn’t show any interest for the home made helicopter.
